With regard to the COMPRESSION option, I'd rather that the compression
method be negotiated such that prearrangement need not be necessary in
all cases.  Unfortunately, yes, this would also require a name
registry.  If a compression is used that is not in the registry, then
it must be prearranged.

Comments?
